Swan Lake
Apr 18 - May 12, 2024The sold-out New York Times Best in Dance smash hit makes a triumphant return to the Miami City Ballet repertoire!
Following its North American premiere in our 2021/2022 season, this “crisp and refreshingly clean” (The New York Times) sophisticated interpretation of Swan Lake, lovingly reconstructed by the renowned Alexei Ratmansky, will enchant audiences once again.
